GRACEFUL GIRL SWIMMERS
An Exciting Mile Race In New
York Bay.

Another trial of skill at swimming
was had yesterday between the young
ladies' who have been contesting ut
Coney Island for the past two weeks.
This time the trial was at Fort Hamil-
ton. The contestants were Grace and
Daisy Blankley and Evelyn Harom,
Of Fort Hamilton; Alice and Maggie
Ward, of Coney Island; Maggie Ho-
gan, Of Bath Beach, and TIME Baars,
all pupils of Kate Bennett, Of the
Forty-third street baths.
The day and the water were every
thing to be desired, and all the girls
were in the best of trim. The match
was for prizes awarded by the land
lord of the Grand View Hotel. The
crowd OF spectators was very large,
and the bay was dotted with row.
boats and small sailing craft contain
ing friends OF the swimmers. The
distance was a measured mile from a
point opposite the residence of Mrs.
II. Cornell White, near Owls Head,
to the pier OF the Grand View Hotel.
At the start the choice of positions
was awarded to Miss Grace Blankley,
while Miss TIME Baars was. the
furthest out. At the word, each of
the seven dove gracefully into the
water, Alice Ward gaining the surface
farthest ahead. Grace and Daisy
Blankley breasted the waves, and
speedily secured first and second
places. Alice Ward adopted the side
stroke and obtained the third place.
All the way to the finish these rela-
tive positions were retained, though
once or twice 1t looked as if Alice
Ward might forge to the front.
She was frequently compelled to
change her course, and at last dis
tanced by so doing. Those then were
the only ones in the race, for the 9TH
ers were either distanced entirely or
went so completely out of the course
as to be virtually out Of the race. The
start was made at 4:48, and Grace
Blankley finished at sos, with Daisy
q minute after, and Alice Ward min
ute and Il half later yet. The time of
the others was not kept. The feature
of the event was the utmost good ma
ture displayed both by victor and
vanquished. None of the swimmers
were exhausted by their efforts, Alice
Ward enjoying herself some minutes
after the finish. The prizes awarded
were: First, gold medal and $l5
second, $l2; third, SO; fourth, s.. The
money in each instance went to pur-
chase price, Brooklyn Eagle.

STORIES OF A VIRGINIA HOME.
Scraps OF wit, Sarcasm and Re-
partee From Old virginny.

The Clay Hill portrait of MIR. John
Randolph, said to be the finest like
ness of him, is now in in the Corcoran
gallery at Washington.
Long after Mrs. Tabb's death Mr..
Randolph still came to Clay Hill. He
was there one day at a dinner party
given to young army officer. At the
table the military guest was giving II
glowing account of the Mexican
churches, some of the finest of which
he said had been turned into barracks
by the United States troops.
"Why, captain, were you not afraid
to do it?" asked one Of the ladies'.
ooh, no; for my part" the captain
replied, II have become SO used to
such things that / could take my din-
ner on an altar as comfortably aS
elsewhere"
"And so would a hog, sir" said
Mr.. Randolph.
In the silence that followed this
terrible thrust they say the very air
of the room seemed to tingle as the
nerves of the guest did.
At that time, and even much later
day. there was in the neighborhood
no regular clergyman of the Episcopal
church. Sometimes only once in
three or four years would q parson APP
pear: and thsn it was that the wedding
took place and that all the children
born in the interval were brought to
be baptized. This last, as a matter OF
courtesy to the pastor, was OF strict OBJ
legation. DIR. Archer's youngest son
was quite old enough to have some
notion OF the import of the rite when
his turn for it came, and objected to
the ordinance. He tried to run away.
When his father caught him the little
fellow yelled:
81 d'want to be baptized"
"Why not, my son ?" inquired the
old doctor.
"Cause can't cuss no more" Sob
bed the little boy piteously.
"You shall curse just as much as
YOU please, my son." said the old
man, tenderly. "Come along, let
them baptize you my child" =,
The privilege of "cussing" secured
to him by this strange dispensatlon,
the little fellow made no further resis-
tance, but submitted to the rite.
DR.. Archer was lifelong partisan
of his illustrious brother-in-law, Gov
ernor Giles, one of the ablest politi-
clans of the day. Some time after
the Governors death the doctor, in
the heat Of a political discussion, said to
his opponent:
"Go and ask Giles. If you doubt
what say, go and ask Giles"
"But cant" remarked the other.
"Giles, sir, is dead--dead and in hell" "
~ don't care u snap if he is," cried
the doctor. "Go there and ask him !"
